Have a break

in fresh air

Relaxed stay in public indoor spaces

The invisible threat of airborne viruses is far from over. People want to feel safe when they stroll through shopping centres, attend concerts and exhibitions, go about their work or use leisure and sports centres. Even when travelling - be it by plane, train or ship or on public transport, where contact with many people is unavoidable - it must be possible to breathe deeply without worrying about the risk of infection.

Effective air purification is the key to minimising the risk of infection with virus-containing aerosols indoors, as has been demonstrated in numerous studies. In premises where permanently installed ventilation and air-conditioning systems are lacking or provide only insufficient air quality, professional mobile air purifiers are a good solution.

Applications

On tour in the city

Enjoy a lively city in all weathers

In industrialised countries, roughly 3 out of 4 people already live in cities today, and forecasts predict an increase to 8 out of 10 until 2050. This means that it will become increasingly crowded at all mobility, shopping and meeting points in our cities. This is especially true for popular destinations for city tourism, metropolises and business centres. In parallel to the rising number of people, the risk of infection with virus-containing aerosols is also increasing.

People want to discover the manifold public, commercial, cultural and culinary range and to use indoor offerings  in a relaxed manner, there needs to be sufficient meeting places and relaxation zones indoors with effective ventilation.

Working principle

Effective air purification

The M-8 air filter creates local breathing zones with high air quality through the use of HEPA filters and active guidance of the air flows through the roof construction. The special feature of our air filters is the supply of purified air from above, analogous to the airflow in an aircraft. This vertical air flow supports the natural process of sedimentation of airborne particles.

  • Purified air is discharged directly into the breathing zone and has no opportunity to mix with contaminated ambient air
  • Exhaled air is continuously discharged downwards and directly sucked in by the unit for purification
  • Aerosols that are harmful to health do not spread further due to vertical airflow
Vertical airflow for rapid downward discharge of aerosols containing viruses

The volume flow of the air purifier M-8 is infinitely variable and offers three optimised performance levels as a presetting:

  • Silence mode
    Effective cleaning with minimal noise during events and functions
  • Public mode
    Effective cleaning at natural noise levels in shopping centres, public buildings or mobility terminals
  • Power mode
    Highly effective, fast cleaning before and between active periods of use with many people and long duration

Technology

Innovative solution with proven technologies

Effective airflow with innovative roof design

When procuring air purifiers, care must be taken to ensure that they are sufficiently dimensioned for the room and application under consideration to significantly reduce the particle and virus load. The air flow rate of the device is of greater importance than the pure efficiency of the filter, says the Society for Aerosol Research in its "Position Paper on Understanding the Role of Aerosol Particles in the SARS Cov-2 Infection Event" of December 2020.

With a volume flow of 4,000 cubic metres per hour, the M-8 air purifier can reduce the virus load by 81 percent within a radius of 5 metres.

Basically, an air exchange rate of 6, i.e. filtering the entire room air volume six times an hour with HEPA filters, is sufficient to minimise the risk of infection.

Effective filtering

The purification of the sucked-in air from viruses and bacteria takes place in a two-stage filter system:

  • Filtering infectious aerosols with HEPA filters
    HEPA filters have the advantage that, in addition to aerosols containing viruses and bacteria, they also filter ultra-fine dusts from the ambient air, which can penetrate deep into the lungs and increase susceptibility to respiratory diseases. The filter efficiency is at least 99.95 percent according to EN 1822 and ISO 29463.
  • Increasing filter efficiency with fine dust pre-filters
    Upstream fine dust filters ensure that the service life of the high-quality HEPA filters is increased.
  • Optional disinfection of viruses in the unit
    If desired, the viruses in the unit can be deactivated by means of UVC light.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do viruses (e.g. SARS-CoV-2) and bacteria spread?

Leading virologists have discovered that almost half of the risk of infection is due to droplets that are emitted when breathing and speaking, and to a greater extent when sneezing or coughing. They fall to the ground in a radius of about 1.50 metres.

Aerosols play a major role in the spread of COVID-19. They consist of tiny virus-containing particles that remain in the air like fine dust, swirl and are transported over long distances. They are contagious for several hours. To become infected, it is sufficient to breathe in the virus-contaminated air after the infected person has been in the room. Transmission through aerosols has also been proven for measles, tuberculosis, influenza and Sars-CoV-1.

How can the risk of infection via aerosols in the air be effectively reduced?

According to recommendations of the WHO and the German Robert Koch Institute, distancing and face masks help to prevent the risk of infection through droplets and aerosols. However, only FFP2/3 masks, which are mainly used in the medical sector, offer effective protection. In closed indoor rooms, effective ventilation is therefore crucial to minimise the risk of infection from aerosols containing viruses in the air.

There is a ventilation system. How well can it reduce the risk of infection?

Permanently installed ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC) can contribute to reducing the risk of infection. This is all the greater the more fresh air is supplied - ideally 100 per cent outside air. This dilutes the existing room air and thus reduces the concentration of virus-containing aerosols in the breathing air. 

The key figure for air quality in this process is the air exchange rate, which describes how often the total air volume in a room should be replaced with fresh air in one hour. The prescribed air exchange rates for public rooms of 4 - 8 times per hour are based on general pollutants in the air such as the CO2 concentration.

Can the risk of infection be eliminated with a high air exchange rate?

So far, it is not certain what concentration of viruses triggers an infection. In the medical field, where viruses had to be considered exclusively up to now, significantly higher air exchange rates of 12 - 15 times per hour apply. According to Lufthansa, this increased air exchange rate is also used in the aircraft.

In addition, HEPA filters are used in the aeroplane for air purification, as prescribed in the medical sector, and the air flow is guided vertically from top to bottom in order to remove exhaled aerosols containing viruses from the breathing zone as quickly as possible and to minimize the risk of infection from person to person.

Even a single infectious person can possibly spread enough virus-containing aerosols to infect the people in their immediate vicinity or even via the room air. The longer the time spent next to a person infected with COVID-19, e.g. in queues or in closed rooms, the higher the risk of infection. Indoors without a face mask, there is an increased risk of infection from virus-containing aerosols despite dilution ventilation.

The air exchange rate also says nothing about how the air flows of supply and exhaust air from the occupied and breathing zones are distributed in the room, i.e. about the ventilation-induced dispersion behaviour of virus-containing aerosols in the room air: the further infected aerosols spread in the room, the higher the risk that the concentration of dangerous aerosols in the room will increase overall and thus also the risk of infection.

How are viruses filtered out of the air?

Viruses and bacteria are emitted together with aerosols, i.e. tiny particles that can float and swirl in the air. These aerosols are usually larger than 1 micron.

Aerosols containing viruses can be removed from the air stream with a HEPA filter. This filter technology is proven in medical areas. An upstream fine dust filter of class F7 ensures a longer service life of the finer-pored and more expensive HEPA filter. We use certified high-performance filters from renowned manufacturers with international availability.

Are the viruses inactivated in the filter?

Optionally, UVC lamps can be used for disinfection in the unit.

How loud is the air purifier?

As the room size increases, higher volume flows are required to remove airborne viruses and bacteria from the existing room air by means of HEPA filters. This is accompanied by an increase in fan noise.

The air filter is designed in such a way that the optimum cleaning performance for two typical areas of use - conversations and public traffic in public spaces - simultaneously meet the requirements for noise emissions and enable efficient operation.

What kind of connection does the unit need?

The indoor air filter requires a standard household 230 volt power connection and can be put into operation immediately.

How high are the running costs?

The running costs consist of the electricity costs depending on the duration and intensity of use. In addition, there are the filter changes according to the recommendations of the filter manufacturers. The proper functioning of the filter system is continuously monitored telemetrically. The filters have to be changed approximately every six months.

How are the air filters controlled?

The air filters are controlled via app using mobile end devices. For regular operating times - e.g. during the opening hours of a shopping centre - the operating mode can be defined for different time periods and controlled automatically. The technical key figures are recorded telemetrically and monitored automatically. An alarm function ensures that any malfunctions are immediately detected and can be remedied.
